Concerns about my mother

Bouncybubbles

Thank you all for your responses I don't feel quite so bad now to answer a few questions she has no savings at all. She is 62 and has been told she has to be 65 so potentially another three years until pension age. I will keep the links and CAB ideas written down and discuss with her when I next see her

As hard as this sounds absolutely do not let her move in with you, having my grandma move in with us when I was a child was the most detrimental thing ever that destroyed our family happiness. My mum was the one who brought her into the home and she was poision and me and my sister never forgave mum that, ( now we are older we realised she had split loyalities and felt terrible guilt but as children you dont understand all that )

As for her money troubles , pay her debts off now and then I'm sure she'll be fine later as no doubt the state will help.

Just checking - you do mean the OP's Mum should pay her debts off now and not the OP?
